I've been very impressed by the quality of their products and the expertise of their plumbers with installation. They are on time and personable. I've had Chad twice and he is thorough, neat and answers all of my questions. Price-wise? They are worth every penny! My only complaint is a service charge for an expensive installation.
Description of Work: I had a new hot water heater and water softener installed within an eight week span.

The service performed was satisfactory but the charge was outrageous. We supplied faucets and toilets. Instead of charging by the hour, we were charged per faucet and toilet. The plumber was there only 3 1/2 hours and besides a basket strainer for the kitchen sink and a very small amount of piping, the labor charge came close to 300 per hour and we were charged over $1,200. We called to complain so they took 10% off of bill but this plumber more than double of competitors. Don’t use them!
Description of Work: Reinstalled kitchen faucet and two new bathroom faucets after we had new countertops installed plus installed new high toilet.

I woke up to no hot water & asked them to check it out. They were at my house within 3 hours. I decided to replace the unit rather than repair it since it was already significantly past the average life expectancy of one. The service man was polite, fast & did such a great job at cleaning up you'd never have known he was there. I would highly recommend this company.

The plumber assessed the problem and told me two options we could take and told me the cost of each. He recommended the the easier less costly option. That was nice of him, because some contractors just go ahead and do the most expensive job without giving you a few options. All was taken care of and he said if he has to come out again to do the more expensive option he would not charge a service fee. All is working well and he did a good job cleaning up.
Description of Work: We had a plugged bathroom sink drain and a toilet that intermittently did not drain when flushed.

Heat, Water, and Lights; when these fail you don't want to hear "We will see what we can do?"; you want to hear "We will be there at this time and we will fix it and get you taken care of!" The later is the response I received this AM from Kummers plumbing. From the moment I spoke with Jackie, I knew I would be taken care of, and my household would only be inconvenienced for the shortest amount of time humanly possible. From organizing the City services to shut off the water t,o coordinating with the City to finish the job; Kummers took care of it all in less than 3 hours! Furthermore, Steve Labs was the plumber who handled the job and did what can only be described as a phenomenal job. Not only did he explain exactly what needed to be done, but he shared with me the step by step process as I watched. His customer service and personable manner made the entire negative experience of having your basement water main valve burst, actually an overall enjoyable experience. Steve is a great guy with a great demeanor! Without a doubt, should I ever need a plumber again, Kummers will be getting the call. THANKS STEVE AND JACKIE FOR HELPING ME OUT AND GETTING THIS ALL DONE SO PAINLESSLY AND EFFICENTLY!!!

John arrived on time, was pleasant. He listened to what I needed, and explained my options. His work was quick and efficient. He was concerned with keeping the area neat and clean. When I called to make an appointment, I was able to get the date and time I needed without difficulty. I would very definitely use Vern Kummers Plumbing again.

I bought a little house probably around 1983/84. The people that owned the place had it coming in aluminium pipes, gasoline in an aluminum pipe. I had them come in and put in a black line and I had them put up some stuff for a washer and a dryer, the water lines and stuff. They've done a little bit of work for me over the years, this and that. They've always treated me fair, they've always done great work. I've always been really pleased with what they do because they do what I tell them to do. "Don't put the washer and dryer over there because I want it over here," and that is where they put it. So they're real cooperative, real friendly. I always get the price before I have them do the work. It was very fair. They did great work for me. It has always stayed the same, it has always been good quality work at a fair price.

Started having backup problems in basement floor when doing washing, shower usage downstairs, heard toilet gurgling in the night, etc. They sent Steve out the next day and he used the large mechanical snake to go through pipe to the main outlet. It fixed the problem for one month then the backup happened again. After calling, they sent Steve back out the first thing the next morning. This time he used a camera through the pipe and found the blockage. He cleared it out and explained why it was occurring. We are no longer using Charmin in the downstairs bathroom since the camera showed where things could hung up. The work was warrantied from the month before so there were no additional charges. We have had no problems with backup since. Steve was professional and his experience and knowledge resolved the problem. He also took away my fears that my septic had major issues after I was googling to find what could be causing the backup. I have recommended to my friends to call them if they ever need a plumber.

Jake was a professional from the start. He came in, listened to what the problem was, then gave us a couple of ways we could proceed. Once we made a decision, he went right to work and completed the job. Jake also pointed out some other areas in the basement that could use some improvement.

We were having problems with a continually plugging toilet. I called and a plumber was able to come out the very next day, due to a cancellation. He showed up during the scheduled time, was friendly and professional, and did a great job explaining things and options. After I decided to replace the old toilet, he was able to get a new toilet right away. He removed the old toilet, installed the new one, and took the old toilet away, all the same afternoon. We have been happily plunger-free ever since!

Good to average quality of service. The sink drain was found to be leeking shortly after work was completed, so I called and they were very responsive and came out immediately to repair. Unbelievable shock at seeing the bill! This contractor is very, very expensive. Period. Enough said. I will never use them again because they are so expensive.
Description of Work: Installed a sink that needed copper piping run to it, as well as drainage connection. Was actually a job I could have done myself, but did not have te time. Sink and faucette were already there, all I needed was the piping connected.

They have a monthly club they sell you on, and then need to use them, to use up your balance. They don't repair, they replace. I would not reccomend them to anyone. Overpriced.
Description of Work: I had a toilet repaired. (he wanted to replace it) And a leaky pipe fixed. Previuosly they replaced a faucet and snaked the drain out to the road. I would not let him replace a hose bib for another $150, it only needed a washer. And I would not let him do other work he pointed out but was not needed, or was more cheaply done. They don't repair, they replace.

The man was on time and professional at first. He made an estimate and began work. The job took all day, which seemed like a long time given the distance the pipes had to go. There were no walls to drill through as the walls and ceiling were not there due to the remodel. All he had to do was splice in, run the line, and end with simple rough spiggots similar to those you hook a washing machine to. I also needed a faucet replaced and he did that. The quality of the work was good, but it should be after taking all day to do it. When I called a different plumbing company for a job that they were unavailable to do, the man said I was definately over charged - to the tune of twice the cost.
Description of Work: Had plumbing routed into a room and faucet installed.
